Trump is right we already have too many languages here

[Blaster]

I am all for strict immigration controls but saying there are "too many languages" in this country is just plain stupid.

Speak english in this country while out in public.

On the surface, and in following the ‘our diversity is our strength’ bullshit programming that appears to be a noble thing to say…but people who want to live in a UNITED nation know better.
Language is the primary component to bonding /unifying people and everyone sane knows it.

I agree that there should only be one language in all governmental and corporate offices and that language is English. What people speak at home is their business.

Having said that I am a firm believer that our children should be taught a foreign language of their choosing in school or at least required to take a course or two. I took French for many years in elementary school. It was required. I still remember quite a bit of it. I have read studies that found that people who speak multiple languages have lower rates of dementia and Alzheimers.

 

[Unkotare]

Thats splitting hairs

English does not have to have been spoken here 500 years ago to qualify as the native language today

Other languages were here first, so English is not the "native" language. It is still the dominant language.

That’s what Libs do…it’s how they stay confused and twisted. They build goofy semantics and complexities into everything. They can’t simplify anything, thats why they can’t and won’t solve anything.

Your stupidity does not represent any political ideology, loser.

Speak whatever language you want in this country while out in public or in private.

So you don't want people to understand what they are voting for or what corporate decisions they are making? Does that seem practical to you?

No, speak english in public places.

 

[Unkotare]

No, speak english in public places.

This is America. People will speak whatever the hell they want in public places as in private places.

 

[BrokeLoser]

Yeah do that and be heckled by REAL Americans.
Compel real Americans to stare at you like you’re part of another species…like you don’t belong.

In private yes, in public no.

You wouldn't know. YOU are NOT a "REAL American."

 

[BrokeLoser]

I’m wise enough and real enough to speak English.

 

[j-mac]

Our kids are graduated not being able to read or write, but I’m sure they can rattle off all 57 genders…

 

[Unkotare]

You're dumb enough to be unable to speak anything else.

Fair point. I would imagine though that anyone who takes and passes the US citizenship test has to have some fluency in English. I know many legal documents have various other languages on them, such as summons, which may have Spanish and French translations attached.
I am not opposed to that. I am much more concerned in a situation where I walk into Court or call the County Assessor's Office and some clerk tells me they don't speak English.

I am all for people reading publications or watching TV in any language they choose.

Be that as it may, the English language binds this nation. I am not in favor of having any language on par with English in this country that is all.

 

[Unkotare]

... I am much more concerned in a situation where I walk into Court or call the County Assessor's Office and some clerk tells me they don't speak English.

...

Has that ever happened to you?

 

[JLW]

Has that ever happened to you?

Ever been to Miami? When I was in South Florida there were one or two clerks who spoke English with limited fluency. Admittedly it is extremely rare. My point is that I don't think we should ever get to that point where it is not extremely rare. That is all.

Does it really cause any harm to any of y'all if you are out going about your business and you happen to be within earshot of two (or more) people with no relation to you who are speaking to each other in a language other than English?

It’s not really about that…it’s not that simple. It’s about assimilation. An expectation must be met in that regard.
